Ubisoft has today officially announced that the next Rainbow Six game is now in development, and it's called Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots. Boasting a gripping "dynamic single-player storyline", new missions and online multiplayer modes, Patriots's narrative will look to capture the reality of modern-day terrorism. Yes.

“Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6. In Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction,” said David Sears, Creative Director at Ubisoft. “This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience.”

Facing a new threat from the 'True Patriots', Team Rainbow (still no sign of Bungle, Zippy and George) will have to bring down the well-organised, highly-trained and ruthless faction who are intent on reclaiming their country from the American government. Facing critical scenarios, you'll have to make split-second decisions and resolve ethical dilemmas to stop this new breed of terrorist.

Boasting co-op and competitive multiplayer, along with its core single-player experience, Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots will be deploying in 2013, with the first details set to feature in the Christmas issue of Official Xbox Magazine on November 30th.
